Abstract

The INFN-GRID project allows experimenting and testing many different and innovative
solutions in the GRID environment. In this research ad development it is important to
find the most useful solutions for simplified the managment and access to the resources.
In the VIRGO laboratory in Napoli we have tested a non standard implementation based
on LCG 2.6.0 by using a diskless solution in order to simplify the site
administration. We have also used a shared file system, thus simplifying the
submission of MPI jobs to the grid. Finally we tested the use of a custom kernel with
the OpenMosix patch in order to enable the dynamic load balancing.
